Clois
Does the car start fine when cold? If so I would say it is not the ignition or it may be in the Distributor. My son's Mazda MX3 had a strange problem where it would not run after it got hot. Found that a lot of electronic distributors have a part that can go bad and not fire when hot. Replaced the distributor and it runs fine.

If you have to push start the car maybe you have the hot lead on the box hooked up to a wire that drops power during starting as some accessories are cut off during starting to give all available power to the starter.

The coil could be bad and when it gets hot it malfunctions.


My $0.02??
